Interesting story behind this one...i was doodling around with this acapella recorded live somewhere...didn't know where, but I heard it sampled into various tracks over the years, and I knew I wanted to toss it into my second installment of The Love Club...so I googled the lyrics in it and found out it was Loleatta Holloway live @ Better Days! I found out the whole story behind how this rare performance got spread around like it did (Bruce Forest, Shep Pettibone, Junior Vasquez...you know)....but then a couple of hours later I find out that Loleatta Holloway had passed away....I was like, whoa....so I basically changed nothing in this mix except the name.

This is the 2nd issue of The Love Club, dedicated to the memory of our Loleatta....enjoy.
